A Light at the End of the Tunnel

Allie got a job, Allie got a job!!

There's one small catch...it doesn't start until July. But, the upside is that once it starts it will be 30 hours a week, and it's the easiest thing in the world! The job is simply to be the companion to some rich children at their summer beach home outside of Rome.

This family is quite wealthy, and during the month of July the kids (3 total) go to stay with Nonna at the house near the sea. My job is to go there every weekday from 10 am to 5pm and hang out while speaking English. All of the kids attend English schools and the parents want them to practice their speaking during the summer holiday.

I don't have to cook or clean (there's someone else to do that), and I have my own bedroom if I want to stay over (and Charles is welcome at anytime), and they feed me and pay for my train tickets. All I have to do is work on my tan and entertain the lil' ones!

Not only that, but once school begins again in September they will want me to come to the house in Rome three times a week for private tutoring and homework help for the kids. They seem like a genuinely nice family, and having a guaranteed 30 hours a week for a whole month seems like heaven to me right now!

Oh yeah, did I mention it's on the beach??
